Thursday 29, May - 7:08am Something from the national media for what it's worth. Predicted win total: Nine. Baltimore Ravens "In the 2012 playoffs, Joe Flacco threw 11 touchdown passes and zero interceptions en route to helping the Ravens win Super Bowl XLVII. Last season, he was picked off 22 times -- three more times than he found the end zone. Baltimore's attempt to break the 8-8 barrier in 2014 hinges largely on which version of Flacco takes the field. A few things should be working in Flacco's favor, including the addition of veteran receiver Steve Smith; I consider that move to be among the steals of the offseason. Yes, the Carolina Panthers castoff is 35 years old, but he's a competitive guy who will catch the kinds of passes that fell incomplete (or were intercepted) in 2013. Having tight end Dennis Pitta healthy also helps Flacco a great deal. Pitta, who missed 12 games in 2013 with a hip injury, made so many of the big, drive-continuing plays that kept the Ravens going during their Super Bowl ru ...

I know I might be hearing crickets after this post. BUT... how about the offense the Ravens have built during this off season? Steve Smith and Owen Daniels in addition to the already-solid Tori Smith and Dennis Pitta. Yeahh

Time to get into Gary Kubiak's mind . We got Joe Flacco holding is own mini camp with his receivers . The Ravens retain Dennis Pitta , Jacoby Jones and pick up Steve Smith not to mention Marion Brown waiting to become a household name . Torrey Smith the deep threat Getting back to Kubiak . Is the evidence building up . The Ravens are going to a high octane offense such The New England Patriots and the Denver Broncos and the San Francisco 49 ers via Joe Flacco's arm . I certainly can't say at this point the Ravens are going to play the Cam Camron conservative style of football. Can you ? This is what we hoped for last season . Injury to Pitta and a non existent running game killed that dream . Gerwig

One of the top tight ends slated to reach unrestricted free agency will not hit the market. According to Aaron Wilson of the Baltimore Sun, the Ravens and tight end Dennis Pitta have agreed to terms on a five-year contract. A league source tells PFT’s Mike Florio that Pitta’s contract is anticipa...

24 Feb 2014 20:01

and TE Dennis Pitta are making progress to a new deal, per sources. Nothing imminent. Sides have until March 3 before he gets tagged

18 Feb 2014 10:00

The Baltimore and tight end Dennis Pitta are far apart in negotiations. Franchise tag looking very likely for him.

Contract News: Terrell Suggs re-signed by Baltimore Nate Burleson released by the Detroit Lions Anquan Boldin is negotiating a new contract with the 49ers, they both want another year with him. Emmanuel Sanders and the Steelers are likely to part ways. Other News: Saints Free Agent Tight End says he may file for grievance if the New Orleans Saints use the Franchise Tag on him when the time for free agency comes in 22 days from now. New York Jets Safety Ed Reed has had 50K stolen from his car in Houston. Dennis Pitta could be another player that the Franchise Tag is used on as per reports that him and the Ravens are far apart on a contract deal. Johnny Manziel could get the red flagged by teams because of character issues which have plagued him through college. Out of the QBs that have applied for the draft Manziel is seen as the second best, behind... Teddy Bridgewater. As Always Stay Tuned. ONLY 28 WEEKS UNTIL FOOTBALL IS BACK!!

Lunchtime Discussion: You are GM Ozzie Newsome and you only have the ability to resign 2 of these 3 Free Agents. OT Eugene Monroe, TE Dennis Pitta, DL Arthur Jones. What 2 would you pick and why?

17 Feb 2014 01:24

BREAKING: The Ravens are announcing that a press conference will take place tomorrow at noon with Ozzie Newsome and Terrell Suggs. The two sides have agreed to a compromise; deal supposed to be finalized tonight according to Aaron Wilson. Aaron Wilson reporting that Suggs' $12.4M cap figure reduced significantly, but both sides are happy. The deal gives the Ravens a much better shot to retain players such as Dennis Pitta and Eugene Monroe.

28 Jan 2014 10:24

Gary Kubiak hire in Baltimore should mean good things for Ray Rice, Dennis Pitta. Assuming Pitta is back, of course.

14 Jan 2014 22:22

Baltimore Ravens tight end Dennis Pitta could command a higher than expected franchise tag number, if he garners the WR tag. Terrell Suggs and the team will try to agree on an extension.

08 Jan 2014 23:48

Some big names going into free agency: Golden Tate, Anquan Boldin, Mario Manningham, Jacoby Jones, Dennis Pitta, Julian Edelman, Legarrette Blount and Miles Austin !! If you could choose three who would they be ? Mine is Julian Edelman, legarrette Blount, Mario Manningham!!

IN 2014 Joe Flacco will make $6 mil which was under is $10mil franchise tag for QBs. The Ravens have a lot of free agents and due to the salary cap these are free agents: DL Art Jones (won't return teams will over pay to get him), CB Corey Graham, SS James Ihedigbo, WR Jacoby Jones (won't return he's up to get $4 mil next season & the draft is deep with receivers...predictions is for the Ravens to draft Evans at 16), LB Albert McCellen, LT Eugene Monroe (is a must sign and may cost the team a player or two to lock up the o line), LT Michael Oher, TE Dennis Pitta, MLB Daryl Smith (made $1.5 mil last season and after a good performance will desire a max contract at his age), CB Brynden Trawick, DB Omar Brown, Josh Bynes (Exclusive Rights FA), DT Terrance Cody , Dallas Clark, TE Ed Dickson, WR Tandon Doss (Restricted FA & looks to be a cheaper option at retirner and 4th receiver)! With that being said...what is your opinion? Who stays and who goes?

Not counting the Ravens out but just thinking ahead after a tough loss; they need to see how much money they could save by cutting Ray Rice, Elvis Dumerville (probably not much since he just signed), Vonte Leach and Terrell Suggs (has looked pretty old, slow and ill prepared the 2nd half of the season). Top offseason priority is resigning Arthur Jones followed by Dennis Pitta, Eugene Monroe and Daryl Smith. Easily let Ed Dickson, Terrance Cody, Corey Graham, James Ihedigbo and Michael Oher walk then see how much Jacoby would want. I think Hakeem Nicks should be top free agent target, he had a bad season but scouts know his talent and Eli and Coughlin didn't look his way as much because they know he's gone. If Nicks is signed the Ravens can use draft to rebuild O-line around Monroe (if resigned), Osemele and Yanda.

God, You and I aren't very close. So today I need you to take a backseat to the Fantasy Gods today. It is in your name Fantasy Gods, I pray. Please let Peyton throw for 7 touchdowns again, that was the best thing ever. Please Let "Orange" Julius Thomas score a couple of those touchdowns. Please let this long reach at Dennis Johnson come through for me. I just really don't trust Deangelo Williams and Jordan Todman losing touches to far less superior backs. Please bless Desean Jackson and Brandon Marshall as they have been my only other consistent ballers other than Peyton. And please Fantasy Gods, curse the fantasy bones of all the following. Let's start with Jamaal Charles, don't you dare let him drop a 50-burger on me. please also curse the fantasy bones of Jay Cutler, Michael Crabtree, Roddy White, Matt Forte, Dennis Pitta, Nick Novak, and the entire Carolina D/ST. I'm sure these are all decent human beings with the exception of Jay Cutler who has the demeanor of a gaping *** None the less, curse t ...

Here is your Top 25 Free Agents once this season ends. As you can see Jay Cutler is the only QB in the Top 25. The irony behind that is there is only 2 QB's in the Top 50 FA's. Who's the other QB you ask, Josh McCown(48th) is the other QB in the Top 50 FA's. Bears fans would say let Cutler go and resign McCown. However, here's a little to chew on if your a Bears fan. McCown is 35 and Cutler is 31 which means you must ask yourself," Do we play for now or the future". I say draft a QB or trade for a younger QB. But only this off season will tell. 1.

Updating earlier reports, the New England Patriots confirmed TE Rob Gronkowski (knee) tore his right anterior cruciate ligament. Gronkowski's owners survived without him for the first six games of the year. Now they'll have to make do if they survived his incomplete game and score this week. Dennis Pitta, Garrett Graham, Scott Chandler, Kellen Winslow, Ladarius Green, and Jermaine Gresham are among the best of what you can hope to get off of the waiver wire this week.

RUNNING IT BACK Dennis Pitta's huge return and more from Sunday's win over the Vikings

09 Dec 2013 11:15

Ravens Rally Past Vikings 29-26 On Icy Field by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS December 08, 2013 6:11 PM BALTIMORE (AP) — At first, it appeared the unrelenting snow would be the main topic of conversation. Then came an incredible flurry of touchdowns — five over the final 125 seconds — that truly made this a one-of-a-kind, unforgettable football game. After Joe Flacco threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to rookie Marlon Brown with 4 seconds left to give the Baltimore Ravens a 29-26 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, the Ravens couldn't contain their excitement. "Do you believe in miracles?" cornerback Jimmy Smith shouted as he ran off the field. "What just happened?" Ravens kicker Justin Tucker exclaimed. And Jacoby Jones, who took a kickoff back 77 yards for a touchdown during the back-and-forth excitement, said, "You couldn't even get emotional. It was too confusing." Brown's catch concluded a five-play, 80-yard drive that took only 41 seconds. Before that: —Dennis Pitta, in his season debut followin ...

09 Dec 2013 07:25

Absolutely the most WILD ENDING I have EVER seen in a football game. Was baking cookies while dad was watching the Vikings game and was fortunate to catch the entirety of this STELLAR ending. Played in near blizzard conditions throughout, the game was defensive scrum with very little offense. With 2:10 left in the game, Baltimore trailed Minnesota 12-7. ---then let the games begin--- Facing a 4th and Goal from the Minnesota 2, the game was on the line for the Ravens who scored on an amazing snag by TE Dennis Pitta. Torrey Smith catches the 2 pt conversion pass and the Ravens lead 15-12. Vikings thus need a FG, having lost starting RB Adrian Peterson to an ankle injury of some kind, back-up RB Toby Gerhart was taking handoffs instead. A simple draw play nets a quick 7 yards where Gerhart meets TWO Ravens defenders who simply BOUNCE OFF of him and he's GONE!! To the House! Like 60 yds. Extra Point is good and Vikings have stunned the Baltimore crowd taking a 19-15 lead with under 2 minutes to play. ...

Anybody know anything about Dennis Pitta.. Regarding playing time?? Bc Dallas Clark inactive, does that mean bigger snap count for Pitta.. Or should I start Clay or pick up Ladarius Green

Joe Flacco and Dennis Pitta come off the field after warm-ups. Joe is one happy man.

27 Nov 2013 15:30

sir, if you're looking for a TE to help you W14 and on would you grab Ladarius Green or Dennis Pitta?

Bucs' RB Bobby Rainy was named the NFC's Offensive Player of the Week for his performance against the Falcons. Eagles' P Donnie Jones was named the NFC's Special Teams' Player of the Week. Bucs' head coach Greg Schiano hanged up on a call just six minutes in after a reporter asked for an update on the MRSA outbreak. RGIII reportedly called the wrong protection on the game-deciding interception vs. the Eagles. The Jets signed LB Jermaine Cunningham; the former Patriots made 14 starts in 3 years in NE. Ravens' RE Dennis Pitta will return to practice for the first time since suffering a fractured and dislocated hip during training camp.

There are some musts in fantasy. Facing Denver? Start. Facing Kansas City? Sit. Facing more questions? Read. We break down the fantasy musts. I had in my head that I was going to, in the wake of recent IR designations for Randall Cobb, Julio Jones, and Owen Daniels, do a whole "look at the legitimate fantasy team you could have drafted based only on guys on the IR!" thing. Ahmad Bradshaw, Shane Vereen at running back. Jeremy MacLin at receiver. Dennis Pitta at tight end. That sort of thing. The problem came when I tried to pick out a fantasy-viable quarterback on injured reserve. Kevin Kolb? Brian Hoyer? Mark freakin' Sanchez? It all sort of fell apart there. Anyway, injuries have been piling up lately. In addition to all these IR guys, Cecil Shorts III, DeMarco Murray, Danny Amendola, and others have been banged up. So you're searching for starters. Heading into Week 7, let's look at who to use and not to use. Start Quarterbacks Andrew Luck (vs. Broncos): This one isn't complicated. You start quarterback ...

I love my Baltimore Ravens. They are having a bumpy start on offense this season, but the defense has rebounded since opening night at Mile High Stadium. The team is 2-1. The defense has not allowed a touchdown in the last two games. The offense is missing Dennis Pitta, Jacoby Jones, and last week Ray Rice. The rookie wide reciever Marlon Brown and even Tandon Doss have step up their game to help Joe, Torry and the revamped offense. The story has been the defense. After the retirement of Ray Lewis and the departure of Ed Reed, the talking heads said this team would fall on their face. Dumervil and Suggs have been pressuring quarterbacks. A few of the new players have stepped in and adjusted to their roles. And with all of that, you still have people complaining about Flacco and the team. Some people...

To the Baltimore Ravens . Was somewhat harassed where I live and work last week (i.e. near Denver), despite a significant Dennis Pitta and Haloti Ngata following. I need some redemption, a reason to remind others at the local pub, work, apartments, etc. that today was what the Ravens are about. Please . Signed. A Ravens fan that resides in Utah.

09 Sep 2013 13:04

Arian foster, Cam Newton and Dennis Pitta my favorite players in the league

06 Sep 2013 14:05

My morning take.. an insanely long football post after spending a night crying into my pillow saying nevermore... The Offense: Strangely even with two interceptions I think Joe Flacco played just fine. I realize he had two INTs but he also placed the ball where the receivers needed them to catch them.. Unfortunately the receivers also needed hands that they didn’t have. The Ravens had more than a dozen drops last night. At tight end Dallas Clark and Ed Dickson, who are replacing the injured Dennis Pitta, each had four drops. The Ravens offense looked good early, but once Jacoby Jones was injured and the Broncos defense could then constantly double Torrey Smith, the fun was over. Jones’s injury, a knee sprain, is a big one as behind him you have an undrafted rookie and a 7th round draft pick for depth. The Ravens need to get on the phone to any retired WR that is in good shape they can get their hands off on the cheap. The other big loss was Michael Oher who went down with an ankle sprain. Oher’s bac ...

Wanna know (another reason) how the NFL top 100 players is an absolute joke? Dennis Pitta was in it & wasn't LOL

29 Jun 2013 14:21

how do you really pick the top 100 list? Can't be just the most top 20 votes because Dennis Pitta would have ZERO

29 Jun 2013 12:44

Sports Birthdays 6/29: * Kawhi Leonard-22- NBA star named to NBA All-Rookie First Team in 2012. * Dennis Pitta-28- NFL tight end played for Baltimore Ravens since 2010 when he joined the League. * Joe Johnson-32- signed $119 million contract with Atlanta Hawks in 2010 then went on to lead the team to the playoffs the next 3 seasons. * Martin Truex, Jr.-33- NASCAR Busch Series Champion for two years in a row, 2004 and 2005. * Theo Fleury-45- won gold medal with Canadian hockey team in 2002 Olympics in Utah. * Jeff Burton-46- NASCAR driver named 1994 Winston Cup Series Rookie of the Year. * Pedro Guerrero-57- Five time All-Star player helped Los Angeles Dodgers win World Series in 1981.

using that logic, Dennis Pitta should've been a tight end reward because he's higher than Graham

21 Jun 2013 16:46

am i right to say there are unsigned FA TE's like Dennis Pitta,Dallas Clark,Chris Cooley,Ed Dickson and the one I like Kevin Boss?

Hey New England Patriots-you could have picked Dennis Pitta. He's neither under the knife nor under arrest.

20 Jun 2013 20:12

Aaron Hernandez is in legal trouble and Gronk is on PUP list. Seem the other two top tight end from that class are alive and well. Ed Dickson and Dennis Pitta will be the top tight end tandem in the AFC this year.

MJD says foot is ready, body is not ** Jaguars RB Maurice Jones-Drew says the foot he injured way back in October is finally healed. Now he's shifting his focus to strengthening the ankle and getting back into game shape. “The weight’s going to come off as I work out,” MJD said. “All I could do (after surgery) was eat. With this injury, you don’t want to break the screws and have to get the surgery over again. I couldn’t move.” Jones-Drew sounds questionable for the start of training camp in about 5 weeks. Ravens TEs to get Anquan Boldin's targets? ** Ravens insider Matt Zenitz believes the team's TEs will be the biggest beneficiaries of WR Anquan Boldin's departure. TE Ed Dickson has reportedly been "one of the most impressive players" this spring. He finished with just 21 catches last year but hauled in 54 in 2011. Expect him to settle in somewhere in between this season. TE Dennis Pitta will remain Baltimore's primary pass-catching TE. He racked up 61 catches on 94 targets last y ...

19 Jun 2013 19:14

The Baltimore Ravens were originally planning to draft both Aaron Hernandez n Rob Gronkowski in the 2010 draft but New England jumped ahead of the Ravens to *** them up n the Ravens had to "settle" for Ed Dickson n Dennis Pitta... in hindsight that seems to b working out pretty well!! Lol

Jimmy Graham left out of the NFLs annual top 100 list. They list Dennis Pitta, Heath Miller, Vernon Davis, and worst of all a backup TE with Aaron Hernandez in their top 100 instead. I know the NFL hates giving any accolades to NFC South teams, but that is just sad. Poorly constructed. If you are going to bother to put an annual list out, at least put some effort into it.
